Whether OL can take in your records depends in part on their format and 
content. At the moment, OL ingests records in MARC21, and there are 
certain requirements that need to be made in the data so that the 
records will fit in and "play nice" in the OL environment.

OL does not have an update mechanism in place for records coming from 
libraries.

However, adding your records will not mean that there are covers for 
them. OL takes covers from other sources, where they are available. 
There would need to be a source of covers for items in your collection, 
and it would have to be a source that OL can take in. (If I am not 
mistaken, the only source of covers has been Amazon, plus covers 
uploaded by users.)
